Trunovskaya Wind Farm, a new wind farm of Rosatom in Stavropolsky Krai, has started supplying electricity to Russia’s unified grid. When completed, the wind farm will have an installed capacity of 95 MW and consist of 38 wind turbines.
“Trunovskaya wind power station is our ninth wind farm in southern Russia and seventh in Stavropolsky Krai. The first 60 MW have already entered the country’s unified power system. The total capacity of the commissioned wind power capacities of our company reached 1 GW. This volume can be compared to the reactor power of a nuclear power plant. The generating equipment we use is equipped with the only localized megawatt-class turbine in Russia. Integration of domestic suppliers into project implementation has always been a priority for us. Trunovskaya WPS is packaged with the help of restructured supply chains and replacement of bygone technologies with Russian developments,” said Grigory Nazarov, Director of NovaWind.
“Stavropolye is among the leading regions in wind energy in Russia. Our region is considered to be one of the most energy surplus regions. By developing green energy, we gain additional capacity. But the fundamental point is an environmental one. Last year alone, the use of wind power in Stavropolye prevented the emission of one million tons of carbon dioxide that could have been released into the atmosphere if conventional power technologies were used. This is especially relevant for us, since the territory of the region is home to the specially protected ecological resort region of Caucasian Mineral Waters,” said Vladimir Vladimirov, Governor of Stavropolky Krai.
